Seventy-nine is too late for a second chance. Isn’t it? Missy Carmichael is prickly, stubborn – and terribly lonely. Until a chance encounter in the park with two very different women opens the door to something new. Something wonderful. Missy was used to her small, solitary existence, listening to her footsteps echoing around the empty house, the tick-tick-tick of the watching clock. After all, she had made her life her way. Now another life is beckoning to Missy – if she’s brave enough…
We learn about Missy's eventful life as she reminisces about her family and her life. At 79 she has a lot of stories. In the beginning Missy was not easy to like. As we get to know her she becomes more likeable and I began to care for her and what happened to her. Her relationships with these women and especially the dog are lovely to watch flourish. A lot of emotions play out in this book. The moral is to be kind and open to new things.
This book is about old lady, Missy. she is 79 years old, her son and family live far away and her husband is gone.
